Not long after the exploration team left the Jinma Stone Group, someone was horrified to discover that the scorpion group was following them again.

Hope was dashed.

Facts have proved that what Zhen Jin did before was correct.

The young knight sighed secretly. Cang Xu's speculation made him panic in his heart, but on the surface, his expression was very calm and calm.

"Don't worry, the scorpions have just finished eating, and we are not on their food list."

"That Scorpion King will continue to fight with me alone."

"As long as I don't fall, you will all be fine."

Everyone was successfully calmed down by the needle gold.

The group continued to move forward in the desert.

They must cherish the early morning hours, which are good opportunities to travel.

Logically speaking, this is just an island.

There are various landforms on the island, and the desert on the island should not be large.

As long as you stay firm in one direction and keep moving forward, you can get out of this nightmare land.

But the real feelings of people who are in it are different.

Yellow sand, yellow sand all over the sky.

Sand dunes, undulating sand dunes.

The identical sights can easily make people think that they have not traveled far.

The desert seems to be endless, no matter how you walk, you can't reach the end.

Their physical strength was rapidly depleted, and just after morning, the exploration team members felt hungry.

There is really too little food.

Feelings of confusion and despair are inevitable and uncontrollable, growing in everyone's heart.

Whenever this happens, the exploration team members will focus on Zhen Jin.

Needle Gold opens the way at the front.

He is just a young man, no taller than the others.

But the exploration team members always drew courage from the thin back of Zhenjin.

These courages confront the confusion and despair in our hearts.

The sun is gradually rising, and the temperature of the desert is also rising rapidly.

Sweat stains began to appear on the foreheads of the exploration team members.

About two or three hours later, the Silver Spear Scorpion suddenly let out a harsh hiss, and quickly picked up the sand under its feet, broke away from the scorpion group, and rushed towards the exploration team.

"It's coming!" The exploration team made a commotion, then calmed down again.

Because Zhen Jin was already prepared, he immediately stopped and turned around, facing the Spear Scorpion.

The two sides started a fierce battle, just like yesterday's prospect.

After a fierce fight for a while, the Silver Spear Scorpion took the initiative to retreat and broke away from the battle.

Zhenjin panted heavily and did not pursue.

The young knight's mood became more and more solemn.

"Is it my imagination?"

"I always feel like this scorpion's shell is harder than before."

"Is it because the spider blade in my hand has worn out too much, or has the gun scorpion's carapace thickened after eating?"

Zhen Jin is increasingly unable to do anything to deal with this spear scorpion.

Every slash he made on the scorpion shell only left white marks.

Moreover, this trace is getting shallower and shallower.

"Unless I mutate and develop sharp bear claws, there is no way I can pose a threat to the Gun Scorpion with just the weapon in my hand."

"In addition, my physical strength is also weakening."

Acupuncture can clearly feel this.

He fought with the Silver Spear Scorpion before, moving around and having long-lasting endurance.

Now the fighting only lasts for a moment, and you will become short of breath and your hands and feet will become weak.

These days, Zhenjin hasn't eaten enough or slept well, and hasn't gotten any effective rest at all. He is like the spider blade in his hand, which has reached its limit.

Compared with beasts like the Spear Scorpion, the human body has racial differences and weaknesses. When fighting against the Spear Scorpion, one uses one's shortcomings to defeat the enemy's strengths.

Fortunately, Spear Scorpion, as the leader, seems to be very cautious. Every time he fights fiercely with Zhenjin for a while, he seems to realize that it is difficult to win Zhenjin, so he temporarily retreats.

According to what Cang Xu said, this may be the hunting skill of Gun Scorpion. Every battle weakens Zhenjin a little. After the small amount adds up, Zhenjin is finally exhausted to the limit, making it difficult to explode at the moment of death.

This may be a survival technique for scorpions hunting.

But for Zhenjin, it is something to be thankful for.

Scorpion's habits gave him a chance to breathe.

After four such battles, the sun rose to the highest point in the sky.

At noon, the sun is extremely bright.

The sea of ​​sand beneath their feet evaporated steam, and the exploration team members felt like fish and shrimp on a red-hot iron plate.

For long-term considerations, everyone could only avoid the sun and temporarily breathe in the limited shadow on the back of a sand dune.

The scorpions were also afraid of the poisonous brilliance of the sun and stopped attacking.

As the exploration team members witnessed with their own eyes, these scorpions waved their claws, twisted their bodies, and burrowed deep into the sand.

This is a good way to escape the summer heat and enjoy the coolness, which made the exploration team members envious.

"Do you think these scorpions will attack us from underground?" someone expressed concern.

"Then let them come. I've had enough of this horrible life!" Someone was sitting on the ground, feeling weak.

Cang Xu still maintained his rationality and analyzed: "The size of the scorpion is there. If you want to get out, it will definitely cause huge noise. We will definitely find it first."

"That's not how they hunt."

"Think about how they deal with those green-skinned lizards."

Only then did everyone feel relieved.

Zidi began to distribute food, which was today's lunch.

Each person only has a small portion of dry food, less than half the size of a palm.

Fortunately, the water reserves are relatively sufficient.

But under Cang Xu's prompting, everyone almost pursed their lips and drank two or three small sips before stopping.

Then they carefully tightened the stopper and tied the water bag tightly around their waists, cherishing it as if it were the most valuable treasure in the world.

Among all people, Acupuncture has the most food.

After all, he consumes the most and is also the greatest guarantee of everyone's safety.

Even so, these foods are far from enough for Acupuncture.

The young knight could only eat in small bites, as if eating like this would give his stomach the illusion that he had eaten more.

While eating, Zhenjin was also secretly observing the team.

At present, although everyone is haggard and tired, with chapped lips and dull eyes, their mood is generally relatively stable.

Bai Ya's face was the palest. His arm was broken when he resisted the lizard. It has been tied and fixed, but the pain has always tortured the young man.

The old scholar Cang Xu is tapping his calf gently with his hands to relax his muscles. To be honest, it is quite unexpected that he can persist until now with his body.

Finally, Zhenjin came to Zidi's side.

"How is it?" he asked softly.

"I'm fine." Zidi shook her head, her amethyst-like eyes filled with strength.

She has a magic robe on her body, which should have the function of regulating temperature. But it seems to have failed on this island, unable to isolate the heat.

This caused Zi Di to sweat a lot on her forehead, and her hair was wet with sweat and condensed into strands.

This is not a good sign.

Excessive sweating will cause the body's water content to drop rapidly. Over time, people will die of dehydration.

Zhen Jin felt a feeling of love and affection in his heart, and he knew the reason.

Everyone had water and dry food, but most of the food was concentrated in one place, on Zidi's body.
